Everyone enjoys an affordable, relaxing massage!
CWHC now offers massage services! Massage is a great way to maintain good health and can also provide an integration of body and mind. We all seek massage for a number of reasons such as stress reduction, pain management, or pampering. Regardless of why we seek it out there is no denying the power of bodywork. Some of the benefits of massage are:

-
Lessen depression and anxiety
-
Enhance sleep quality
-
Increase energy
-
Increase circulation
-
Reduce fatigue
-
Alleviate pain
-
Increase joint flexibility
-
Relieve migraine pain
Why wait? All of CWHC’s massage appointments are available on a sliding fee scale. Our certified, body-positive massage therapists are also trained to work with people coping with injuries or trauma. Call for an appointment today!
Appointments are Friday afternoons.
Sliding scale based on income.
